"Mr. Randall, the Hand Society has learned of the existence of this cemetery. They certainly won't give it up easily and will send more people to fight for its ownership. What are your plans for resolving this issue?"

Mark asked tentatively.

That's why he deliberately let Madam Gao go earlier.

If the pressure from the other side is enough to make Olsen realize that he can't hold this place alone, Mark's opportunity will come.

“Kid, the dragon bones in this cemetery are different from other dragon bones. If they fall into the hands of an ambitious person, they will bring disaster to this world. Although you just saved my life, I will not give you the dragon bones here.”

Orson seemed to have seen through Mark's plan and turned to look at him.

“Mr. Randall, I am not like the Hand! I obtained these dragon bones to heal the sick and save lives, not for my own ambition and immortality.”

Mark looked at Olsen earnestly and said, "If you don't believe me, Mr. Randall, you can check with Future Medicine Company. We have already cured hundreds of terminally ill patients using a piece of dragon bone. If we can get the dragon bone here, we can save even more people."

He knew that Olsen was a man with a strong sense of justice, and that he himself did not covet the life energy of the dragon bone.

The reason he set up the seal to guard the dragon bones was simply because he was worried that the dragon bones would be taken away by organizations like the Hand and cause trouble for the world.

Moreover, large-scale mining of the keel here would shake the underground foundation, causing large-scale earthquakes and triggering disasters.

Olsen seemed somewhat moved by Mark's words. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "I will personally verify whether what you said is true. If you are truly dedicated to healing and saving lives, giving you some dragon bones is not out of the question."

"Thank you very much!"

Mark breathed a sigh of relief, then tossed him a business card: "Mr. Randall, feel free to call me anytime you make your decision."

After he finished speaking, he didn't linger and took his leave.

Shortly after Mark left, police officers who had been alerted arrived at the scene.

Given the intense fighting that had occurred there, nearby residents naturally called the police after hearing the gunshots.

But this is Hell's Kitchen, one of the most dangerous areas in New York City, and the police only dared to drive here after gathering dozens of officers.

"My God, is this a war? So many people are dead!"

"Oh my god! Where did they get so many heavy weapons!"

"..."

After the police officers carefully entered the building, they were immediately shocked by the densely packed corpses in the lobby and the heavy weapons on the ground.

Chapter 130 Buying the Central Mansion

Although this is Hell's Kitchen, a large-scale battle that results in so many deaths is still extremely rare.

Moreover, the victim had so many heavy weapons, yet the murderer still managed to kill them all!

Fortunately, the murderer had already left; otherwise, these police officers might not have been a match for him.

The police then completely sealed off the building and sent people to thoroughly inspect the entire complex.

Although the underground passages set up by the police were well-hidden, they could have been found by these officers with their professional skills.

But at this time, Olsen was underground. He did not want the police to know about the existence of the Dragon Bone Cemetery, so he set up another seal at the underground entrance.

These police officers were just ordinary people, so of course they couldn't break the seal set up by Olsen, and in the end they could only return empty-handed.

After daybreak, the police sealed off the entrance to the Central Building, collected all the bodies, and left.

"Alice, check how the Manhattan Police Department handled last night's events."

Mark gave the order to Alice from his own villa.

"Okay, Mark."

Alice responded.

Five seconds later, she hacked into the Manhattan Police Department's network and obtained the department's senior management's opinions on how they handled last night's incident.

Because the crime scene was in Hell's Kitchen and no clues were found, the police initially classified the case as a gang fight.

Although the police will continue to investigate in name only, it's just a formality and a formality.

After learning about the police station's attitude, Mark felt relieved, which further reduced the risk of the underground keel cemetery being exposed.

"Alice, what is your current daily computing power usage percentage? How much computing power did you use to hack into the Manhattan Police Department just now?"

Mark then asked Alice.

“It uses 11% of computing power on a daily basis, and 7% of computing power was used to hack into the Manhattan Police Department.”

Alice responded.

"That's right. Alice now has sufficient computing power, so there's no need to worry about hardware issues for the time being."

Mark nodded in satisfaction.

Previously, Alice's daily computing power usage was already close to 50%, and when a large amount of computing power was needed, it would approach the 90% red line.

Two days ago, Tony had already arranged for Stark Industries' large transport planes to deliver the supercomputing servers, water cooling systems, fiber optic cables, and other equipment intended for Mark to Payne Manor.

After two busy days, the accompanying engineers completed the installation and debugging of the supercomputer, which was then officially put into use.

Now that Alice's computing power has increased dramatically, hacking into official departments like the Manhattan Police Department only requires 7% of her computing power to accomplish the task.

At this point, Mark hadn't actually obtained the dragon bone yet, so he wasn't in a hurry to return to Los Angeles and stayed in New York.

A month passed quickly.

For the past month, Olsen has been living in the underground cave of the Central Building, while also guarding the seal below.

Initially, gangsters even attempted to break into the Central Building at night, hoping to find something valuable inside.

However, Olsen would secretly intervene, knocking these gangsters unconscious and throwing them outside the building.

After several such incidents, rumors of ghosts and monsters appearing in the Central Building spread among the gangsters in Hell's Kitchen.

At first, some gang members didn't believe it and insisted on sneaking into the building to take a look.

Without exception, they were all knocked unconscious and thrown out.

Some of the more impatient Olsen even broke the arms or legs of a few gang members he didn't like.

Only then did no gangsters dare to sneak into the Central Building again, and Olympic Forest Park finally had some peace and quiet.

Mark has also been busy this month.

He flies into outer space during the day to absorb sunlight, and at night he handles important group affairs at his villa.

After a month of hard work, Mark has simultaneously raised his Super Physique and Biofield to level 12.

Mark now has a single-handed grip strength of up to 80 tons and a single-handed pulling strength of nearly 200 tons.

This means that he could throw a heavy tank dozens of meters away with just one hand using only his own strength.

At the same time, Mark's physical defenses and the upper limit of his cellular energy storage also increased significantly.

This allows him to use his superpowers at full power for a longer period of time during battle.

The level 12 biofield also increased Mark's flight speed from 600 kilometers per hour to 800 kilometers per hour.

That very evening, major New York news networks broadcast the Manhattan Police Department's announcement regarding the case that occurred last month in the Central Tower.

"According to a statement released by the Manhattan Police Department, the investigation into the mass deaths that occurred a month ago in a Central building has yielded results."

"This company, called Central Financial, is actually a triad organization. All the deceased were members of this triad organization. There were no surviving suspects at the scene, and no eyewitnesses."

"Based on the results of the criminal investigation from various aspects, this incident has been characterized as a gang fight and territorial feud between organized groups."

"..."

Because all the senior executives of Central Financial Holdings have died, the company is unable to continue operating, and the news also announced that the company has officially entered bankruptcy liquidation and estate administration process.

The court auctioned off Central Financial Holdings' office building, company equipment, and intellectual property.

This was originally a shell company, so the only thing that was truly valuable was the Central Tower.

The problem is that Central Tower is located in Hell's Kitchen, so who would dare to buy a building there?

Therefore, three days later, the Central Tower was acquired by Mark at the starting price of $4.5 million.

The Payne Group currently has $21 billion at its disposal.

Furthermore, due to a shortage of raw materials for dragon bone fragments, the pharmaceutical company temporarily suspended the treatment of patients, resulting in a significant decrease in the group's revenue.

Mark's investment of $4.5 million is a significant sum for the group.

However, Mark had no choice but to buy the building in order to facilitate the excavation of the keel in the future.

After purchasing the property, Mark hired two security teams from Global Security to protect the Central Building and prevent unauthorized personnel from entering.

Of course, this security is just for show.

To truly protect the safety of this building, we still need to rely on Olsen, the modern-day iron fist.

Just then, Mark received a call from Olsen, who told him that Olsen wanted to see him.

He immediately went to the underground cave and found Olsen under his real identity.

Mark will inevitably have to deal with Olsen frequently in the future, so it's time for him to make an appearance in front of him.

“Mr. Randall, this is Mark Payne. I have now purchased this Central Building.”

Mark began by introducing himself to Olsen.

"Where's that kid who cosplayed as Superman? Why didn't he come to see me?"

Seeing that it was Mark, a small child, who came to see him, Olsen asked with some confusion.

“That person is also a director of our company. He’s not in New York right now, but you can tell me if you need anything.”

Mark casually assigned an identity to the avatar, then got down to business: "Mr. Randall, are you calling us at this time because you've already made a decision?"

Chapter 131 Obtaining the Dragon Bone

Orson was wondering why Future Pharmaceuticals would send a child like Mark to talk to him about such an important matter.

But listening to Mark's mature speech and manner, he realized that he was a precocious genius.

Although such people are rare, Olsen has lived for over a hundred years and has encountered them before.

“I have had someone investigate thoroughly, and Future Medicine Company has indeed treated more than 700 terminally ill patients recently. Although your company has attracted a lot of criticism for charging too much, saving lives is saving lives.”

Olsen slowly said, "Therefore, I can give you some of the dragon bones from the cemetery first."

Although Olsen faked his death and left the Federation many years ago, he can still contact some of the connections he made back then if needed.

Therefore, after a month, he had a clear understanding of the future of pharmaceuticals.

The company has a polarized reputation; some people think they are the terminators of human diseases, while others call them heartless capitalists.

But regardless, medicine has indeed been saving lives.

Moreover, unlike the Hands, they did not use the dragon bones to do things like prolong life, resurrect, or strengthen the body.

Olsen was well aware of the potential risks involved, and if Future Medicine had ever done anything like that, he would absolutely not have handed over the dragon bone to them.

"Thank you, Mr. Randall!"

Upon hearing Olsen's words, Mark was overjoyed; he had finally achieved his goal in coming to New York!

"However, I have conditions."

Olsen then continued.

"Just name your conditions, and we'll definitely agree to anything we can do."

"I can only give you a small amount of dragon bones each time, and I will also send people to supervise how the dragon bones are used. Only after I am sure that this batch of dragon bones is used to treat and save lives will I give you the next batch."

Olsen stated his conditions.

"of course can!"

Mark agreed.

He was somewhat surprised, as he had expected Olsen to demand some company shares or cash.

Mark is willing to agree to anything as long as it's not too outrageous.

Unexpectedly, Olsen's request was simply to supervise the use of these dragon bones.

Mark had to admit that he had underestimated the magnanimity of Olsen, the modern-day iron fist.
